Only six days left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh no!!! Make it last!!! Do all of the things that you said that you were going to do this summer but never really ended up doing. Fly a kite! Go to the beach and swim to the buoy! Go skydiving! (Okay, I was just kidding about that one) Go to that fair that we go to and go on that giant tall ride that drops you down!!! (you all know what I'm talking about) We are running out of time!!! Use it well!!!
And now, for an exerpt:
Aayla shuddered at the thought of fighting Elissa with no one beside her. Sure, Aayla was a good fighter, but Elissa was far more powerful than her, and she could never defeat her on her own.
Soon Aayla reached the spot where Brokk had told her to go. She knelt in the dry grass and examined the ground. It was no different than anywhere else in the field. Still, Aayla trusted Brokk; why would he lie? Closing her eyes, she uttered the words that he had whispered to her.
The earth below Aayla's feet began to vibrate and rumble. Aayla stood. Maybe she had said the wrong words. Was this supposed to happen? Suddenly, a single spot of the ground began to shine. With a burst of blinding blue light, everything stopped. And lying on the dying weeds, right in the spot where Aayla was supposed to look, was a dirty, rusty, shovel.
Bewildered, Aayla picked up the shovel. It was heavier than it looked, and the wood handle wasn't sanded, so Aayla presumed that she would get splinters while doing whatever it was that she was supposed to do. She dug the tip of the shovel into the ground and pushed down with her foot. The dirt was hard and dry, so lifting up the clump of earth was hard. She continued to dig, pearls of sweat forming on her forehead. As she dug deeper, the pearls melted down her face.
When Aayla had dug down about three feet, she started to see a glow in the now moist dirt below her. With a new fierceness, she shoveled out the remaining mud until she revealed a tiny glittering orb. She lifted the orb out of the hole.
Okay, I have to go now, so more tomorrow or later today, okay??? Okay!!! Bye now!!!

Handlebars Lyrics
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars
Look at me
look at me
hands in the air
like it's good to be
ALIVE and
I'm a famous rapper
even when the paths're all crookedy
I can show you how to do-si-do
I can show you how to scratch a record
I can take apart the remote control
And I can almost put it back together
I can tie a knot in a cherry stem
I can tell you about Leif Ericson
I know all the words to "De Colores"
And "I'm Proud to be an American"
Me and my friend saw a platypus
Me and my friend made a comic book
And guess how long it took
I can do anything that I want
cause look
I can keep rhythm with no metronome
No metronome
No metronome
I can see your face on the telephone
On the telephone
On the telephone
Look at me
Look at me
Just called to say that it's good to be
ALIVE
In such a small world
All curled up with a book to read
I can make money
open up a thrift store
I can make a living off a magazine
I can design an engine
sixty four miles to a gallon of gasoline
I can make new antibiotics
I can make computers survive aquatic conditions
I know how to run a business
And I can make you wanna buy a product
Movers shakers and producers
Me and my friends understand the future
I see the strings that control the systems
I can do anything with no assistance
Cuz I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
With a microphone
I can split the atom of a molecule
Of a molecule
Of a molecule
Look at me
Look at me
Driving and I won't
stop
And it feels so good to be
Alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let'em all die in exasperation
Have'em all healed leavin lacerations
Have'em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don't like'em
and I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command
Because I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
By satellite
I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope
I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handle bars
No handlebars
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars
Look at me

Viva La Vida Chorus
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my soul, my shield,
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain,
I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word,
But that was when I ruled the world
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my soul, my shield,
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain,
I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word,
But that was when I ruled the world

Been There, Done That
Sorry yall, I already went to orientation and all I saw was Jennifer. My locker is in the SIXTH GRADE HALLWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The tradgedy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I'm right by Jennifer and Mr. Harmon and my homeroom (Mrs. Green. She sucks). So guess what??? I wrote a play!!! It's for my sister. She a fifth grader, but a bunch of third graders are going to be in it, so it's a youngish reading level. And the title sucks, but whatever. I'll copy and paste it here: (the stuff in parenthesis is supposed to be in italics, but for some reason when I pasted it it wasn't)
Dr. Max’s Evil Plot
Characters:
· Agent Kevin (stupid dude)- Jariah
· Dr. Max (evil dude)- Ali
· Commander Juve (boss dude)- Jinda
· Agent Audrey (smart dude)- Raisa
· Agent Brooke (pretty dude)- Kayliann
· Stacey (kidnapped dude)- Lydia
· Lola (assistant dude)- Milica
Before the first scene, have each character introduce themselves. The last character to go will say the following:
Welcome to Dr. Max’s Evil Plot. Dr. Max is an evil professor who has kidnapped Stacey. He plans to strike again at a costume party in downtown New York. It is up to agents Kevin, Audrey and Brooke to save the day.
Scene 1
(Starts in office. Commander Juve is sitting in office chair; agents are around her. Brooke is texting someone, Kevin is asleep, and Audrey is listening attentively)
Commander Juve (CJ): Alright team; in order to catch Dr. Max, you are all going to have to work together. Dr. Max has kidnapped a girl named Stacey Blake. He plans to capture someone else at the 2008 NYC Halloween Party. It is up to you three to save Stacey and everyone else at the party. Move out!
Scene 2
(The three agents are at a colorful party. They are wearing costumes, but underneath they have lots of spy gear)
Brooke: Ugh! My costume is like, so itchy!
Kevin: Mine too!
Audrey: Get over it. We need to find this Dr. Max guy and get out of here before someone gets hurt. Get out your trackers.
(Brooke examines her nails, and Kevin pulls out the wrong device)
Kevin: How do you work this thing? (He fiddles around with it until it makes a loud noise)
Brooke: OMG! You like, made me like, break a nail! (flaps hands and hyperventilates)
Audrey (shaking head): Why did I get stuck with the biggest idiots in the entire company? (to agents) Let’s go. (They wander off)
Scene 3
(Dr. Max, Lola, and Stacey are in Dr. Max’s lair. Stacey is tied up and unconscious and Lola is holding a clipboard)
Dr. Max: Alright, Lola, take this down: (Lola poises pen) “I am Professor Maxwell Jackson. As you may have noticed, I have kidnapped Stacey Blake. If you ever want to see her again, then give me three million dollars by midnight.”
Lola (after finishing writing): Isn’t three thousand dollars kind of a lot of money?
Dr. Max: Three million!
(Stacey starts to stir, then opens her eyes.)
Stacey: This isn’t my house.
Dr. Max (rolling his eyes): Obviously.
Stacey: Who are you? (starts to scratch at something on the floor)
Lola: He’s Professor Maxwell Jackson. He kidnapped you. He wants three thousand dollars.
Dr. Max: Three million!
Lola (ignoring him): When your family gives him three thousand doll-
Dr. Max: Three million!
Lola: Whatever. When he gets three thousand dollars, he’ll let you go.
Stacey (looking up): What?
Scene 4
(The agents are still at the party. They are searching for Dr. Max, who is hiding under a table with Lola and Stacey)
Brooke: Can we like, go outside and get some like, fresh air? The humidity in here is like, ruining my hair.
Audrey: There’s no time! We have to find Dr. Max!
Kevin: Who’s Dr. Max? (Audrey rolls her eyes; Brooke whispers something into Kevin’s ear, and he nods) Oh.
Brooke: I got a text! (she pulls out her cell phone) Commander Juve says that she got a ransom note-
Kevin: What’s a random note?
Brooke (ignoring him): She got a ransom note from Dr. Max saying that we need to give him three thousand dollars by midnight! She says that we need to find him before midnight or it’ll be a disaster and we’ll lose our jobs! (she looks at her watch) We only have thirty minutes to find him!
(The three of them start to look around frantically for Dr. Max. Just then he comes out. Lola is holding a microphone to her mouth)
Lola: Ladies and gentlemen! I am Lola, and this is Dr. Max! We have secured this building so that no one can escape! We have also kidnapped this young girl! (she pulls out Stacey) Give us all of your money-
Audrey: Stop right there!
Kevin: Yeah! We’re members of the BFI!
Audrey (to Kevin): BFI is a garbage company, you idiot! It’s FBI!
(Lola and Dr. Max snigger)
Brooke: Let go of Stacey!
Stacey: What?
Audrey (whispering to Kevin): Get out your net.
(Kevin gets out a net and tries to throw onto Dr. Max. Instead, it ends up on him. Lola runs to grab him and trips on a paper cup. Dr. Max follows and trips on Lola. By then Kevin is out of the net and throws in onto Lola and Dr. Max)
Brooke: Now we have you!
Stacey: Hey! I got a text! And I thought all of my friends forgot about me! (she pulls out her cell phone)
Audrey (shocked): You had a cell phone the whole time and you didn’t even use it?!!!
Stacey: Was I supposed to?
(Just then Commander Juve walks in, looking at the scene before her)
CJ: Good job, team! You did it, and with three minutes to spare! You’ll all be receiving special medals for your bravery! (she pulls three medals from her coat. Audrey, Brooke, and Kevin all line up and she places the medals around their necks. She turns to Lola and Dr. Max) And as for you…
Scene 5
(Dr. Max and Lola are in a jail cell. Stacey, Commander Juve, and the three agents are around them outside the cell)
Dr. Max: I still can’t believe you wrote three thousand dollars on the ransom note instead of three million!
Kevin: And I still don’t know what a random note is!
(Dr. Max and Lola leave the cell; everyone holds hands and bows.)
Well??? It's a bit... interesting, but it was fun to write, and so far it's fun to perform. Anyway, bye!!!!!!!!!!!!! See you in 10 and a half days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
